Sad, unfair, infuriating, but probably true.

20 years might be pushing it, but he'd be gone 34ish years by that point. He wasn't much of a philanthropist. Is there any Steve Jobs Parks? Plazas? His early death didn't lend him much time to create a legacy. He'll be known in business and tech scenes, sure, but the pop culture knowledge of him will be negligible. Does the general public know about the CEO of IBM 35+ years ago? The current crop of CEOs are like WWE wrestlers in their persona compared to Jobs. Being present for the smartphone revolution was something, but does anyone remember the CEO of the company that introduced the laptop? Jobs wasn't a Carnegie or Rockefeller.

People still talk about Jack Welsh's impact on business culture and he retired in 2001.

Oh, definitely as Jobs practically created a personality cult, putting Woz literally behind the curtains.

When ordinary people talk about creative geniuses who make innovative devices that change the course of history, most cases they'll talk about Jobs, believing he came up with ideas for most if not all the gadgets that makes Apple a known fashion tech brand... despite Woz being responsible for designing and building the first Apple desktop.
